　　2024高考訓練--閱讀理解閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C、D）中，選出最佳選項。I like this job, in which I stay with small children and from which I get the challenges and awards. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.

　　I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.

　　I then found myself a job. Looking after two little girls, it wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.

　　One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me, I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part – time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.

　　Now I’ve got a full – time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. Iwish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.

　　1．When staying with the two girls’ family, the author______ .

　　A．got much help from her boss

　　高考英語沖刺閱讀理解A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。The sun shone in through the dining room window, lighting up the hardwood floor. We had been talking there for nearly two hours. The phone of the“Nightline”rang yet again and Morrie asked his helper．Connie，to get it. She had been taking down the callers’names in Morrie’s small black appointment book. It was clear I was not the only one interested in visiting my old professor—the“Nightline”appearance had made him something of a big figure—but I was impressed with, perhaps even a bit envious of, all the friends that Morrie seemed to have.

　　“You know, Mitch, now that I'm dying, I've become much more interesting to people．I’m on the last great journey here—and people want me to tell them what to pack．”

　　The phone rang again．

　　“Morrie，can you talk?”Connie asked.

　　“I’m visiting with my old friend now，”he announced．“Let them call back．”

　　I cannot tell you why he received me so warmly. I was hardly the promising student who had left him sixteen years earlier．Had it not been for“Nightline，”Morrie might have died without ever seeing me again．

　　What happened to me?

　　The eighties happened. The nineties happened．Death and sickness and getting fat and going bald happened. I traded lots of dreams for a bigger paycheck, and I never even realized I was doing it. Yet here was Morrie talking with the wonder of our college years, as if I'd simply been on a long vacation.

　　“Have you found someone to share your heart with?” he asked.

　　“Are you at peace with yourself?”

　　“Are you trying to be as human as you can be?”

　　I felt ashamed, wanting to show I had been trying hard to work out such questions．What happened to me? I once promised myself I would never work for money, that I would join the Peace Corps, and that I would live in beautiful, inspirational places．

　　Instead, I had been in Detroit for ten years, at the same workplace，using the same bank, visiting the same barber I was thirty-seven，more mature than in college，tied to computers and modems and cell phones. I was no longer young, nor did I walk around in gray sweatshirts with unlit cigarettes in my mouth. I did not have long discussions over egg salad sandwiches about the meaning of life．

　　My days were full, yet I remained, much of the time, unsatisfied.

　　What happened to me?

　　1. When did the author graduate from Morrie’s college?

　　A. In the eighties．

　　B. In the nineties．

　　C. When he was sixteen.

　　D. When he was twenty-one．

　　答案解析：答案為D。本題為細節題。由第六段 “I was hardly the promising student who had left him sixteen years earlier．”可知，作者16年前離開Morrie，由倒數第三段 “…visiting the same barber I was thirty-seven，more mature than in college…”可知，作者已經有37歲了，比上大學的時候成熟了許多，因此作者畢業的時候是21歲。故答案為D。

　　2. What do we know about the“Nightline”?

　　A. Morrie started it by himself.

　　B. It helped Morrie earn a fame．

　　C. The author helped Morrie start it．

　　D. It was only operated at night．

　　答案解析：答案為B。本題為細節題。由第一段 “…the“Nightline”appearance had made him something of a big figure…”可知，“Nightline”使Morrie成為了一個了不起的人物，B選項與文意符合，故答案為B。A、C選項未提，均不選。由第一段第一、二句話 “The sun shone in through the dining room window, lighting up the hardwood floor. We had been talking there for nearly two hours.”可知，D選項錯誤。

　　3. What can we infer from the passage?

　　A. Both the author and Morrie liked travelling.

　　B. Morrie liked helping people pack things for their journeys.

　　C. The author envied Morrie’s friends the help they got from him.

　　D. The author earned a lot of money at the cost of his dreams.

　　答案解析：答案為D。本題為推理題。由第八段 “I traded lots of dreams for a bigger paycheck, and I never even realized I was doing it.” 和第十二段 “I felt ashamed, wanting to show I had been trying hard to work out such questions．What happened to me? I once promised myself I would never work for money…”可知，作者從沒意識到他為了更高的薪水以自己的夢想作為交易，他感到羞愧，因為他曾經許諾自己永不為錢而工作，可是他并沒做到，因此可以推斷，作者以自己的夢想為代價賺了許多錢，故答案為D。

　　第二段雖然提到 “I’m on the last great journey here—and people want me to tell them what to pack．” 但此處的“journey”是比喻人生的旅程，故A、B選項錯誤。第一段提到 “…but I was impressed with, perhaps even a bit envious of, all the friends that Morrie seemed to have.” 作者羨慕Morrie有如此多的朋友，C選項“作者羨慕Morrie的朋友從他那兒得到的幫助”與文意不符，故錯誤。

　　4. What’s the author’s feeling when he writes this passage?

　　A. Regretful.

　　B. Enthusiastic.

　　C. Sympathetic.

　　D. Humorous.

　　答案解析：答案為A。本題為推理題。從本文的寫作語氣和一些關鍵詞，例如第十二段的 “I felt ashamed”、倒數第三段 “I did not have long discussions over egg salad sandwiches about the meaning of life．”和倒數第二段 “My days were full, yet I remained, much of the time, unsatisfied.”都流露出作者因為他前面的一生都是為錢而工作對自己所度過的人生感到非常后悔。故答案為A。

　　BEIJING —With a series of measures being adopted to control price rise, the Chinese government is confident of keeping prices at a reasonable level, Premier Wen Jiabao said Sunday morning, asking people to remain confident.

　　“I believe we can keep prices at a reasonable level through our efforts. As a major leader of the government, I have the responsibility and I have the confidence, too.” He made the remarks while answering a listener’s question during a radio broadcast by China National Radio.

　　Steps taken in the past month, including price controls to curb speculation(抑制投機) and monetary tightening（貨幣緊縮）, had started to produce results, he said.

　　The government plans to build 10 million units of affordable housing in 2011, up from this year’s target of 5.8 million.

　　China will also increase efforts to curb speculation in the housing market, mainly through monetary policies and stricter use of land, Wen said, without giving details.

　　Wen said the country had a good agricultural supply base which gave the government confidence that it could stabilize prices.

　　In a bid to control inflation, the government has also increased the bank reserve requirement ratio six times and lifted interest rate twice this year, he added.

　　Further, authorities have introduced many measures including cutting fees for transportation of agriculture products and controlling food price rise strictly.

　　The overall price level, especially of major consumer goods, has now begun to drop, Wen said.

　　“The fundamental way to stabilize prices is to achieve a balance of supply and demand, which requires continuous development of agriculture,” said premier, adding that the central government has worked out measures to increase agricultural production.

　　68. Premier Wen Jiabao asked people to remain confident because ______.

　　A. many measures have been taken to control price

　　B. as a major leader of the government, he had the confidence

　　高考英語沖刺閱讀理解A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。My cat Posy, a tortoiseshell tabby, lives with my family in a house in London, England. Like most cats, Posy is never pleased to see another cat on her territory—or anywhere, for that matter. Whenever she encounters a cat-like fellow, her hair stands on end, and she begins to hiss. In extreme cases, she sets up a yowling that warns the whole neighborhood.

　　Though she may be a proud defender of her territory, there is a reason why my dad has always referred to her as “a cat of very little brain”. One day my mum came home with a purchase she was delighted with—a large tea cozy in the shape of a cat, with all the cat features, from ears to tail, drawn in. Naturally, when teatime rolled around the next afternoon, out came the new tea cozy to keep the pot warm. It received a lot of admiration from the rest of the family because it had the look of a real cat. This cat looked almost like a king sitting there, guarding the pot, with a half-smile on his cloth face. Suddenly, a slight sound emerged over the clink of teaspoons on china— a slow, steady hiss. I turned around to see Posy behind me in the kitchen doorway, hair standing on end, ears laid back, staring straight at the tea cozy. The tea cozy stared back. Posy edged nearer with suspicion, as her eyes narrowed, while she sent out more hissing sounds as she sized up her rival—a rival who’d not only managed to get INTO her house but was now ON her table. And here was the family doing nothing about it.

　　Needless to say, we had almost fallen off our chairs laughing by this time—we couldn’t believe she actually thought the tea cozy was a real cat! Luckily, Posy stopped short of jumping on the unexpected rival. Eventually we took pity on her, lifted the cozy off the pot and finally convinced her that, the presence of this particular cat on her territory was no good reason to cause fur to fly.

　　1. Posy begins to hiss ______.

　　A. whenever she sees a tortoise on her territory

　　B. whenever she sees another cat on her territory

　　C. whenever she sees a teapot at home

　　D. whenever she meets the family members at home

　　答案解析：答案為B。本題為細節題。由第一段 “Like most cats, Posy is never pleased to see another cat on her territory—or anywhere, for that matter. Whenever she encounters a cat-like fellow, her hair stands on end, and she begins to hiss.”可知，答案為B。

　　2. It can be learned from the passage that_______.

　　A. Posy is loyal to my dad

　　B. it isn’t difficult to read the facial expression of the tea cozy

　　C. nobody gets along well with Posy except my mum

　　D. my mum has been buying something like a cat to protect the pot from being broken

　　答案解析：答案為B。本題為推理題。本題可用排除法。A、C選項未提。由第二段 “One day my mum came home with a purchase she was delighted with—a large tea cozy in the shape of a cat, …out came the new tea cozy to keep the pot warm.”可知，D選項不符合文意。因此只有選擇B選項，又及第二段 “…with a half-smile on his cloth face.” 和該段的 “ The tea cozy stared back.” 可表明B選項正確。
